First off, I loved your previous thread so I'm subbed in on this one.
Hey there,
@Archaic -- thanks for your kind words!
I have never had great luck with guerrilla growing in pots because they tend to dry out. My dad has done them, but he would usually knock the bottom out of the pot so the plant could grow into the ground a bit.
This has been a concern of mine, too.
The last two seasons -- no problem, because it was in a place with massive rainfall.
If anything, far too much rain and water and mist and fog...
But in this new location -- still kind of wet at times, but a small pot dries quick, it's true.
I am still thinking about planting in the ground.
I have a nice little trowel that I can dig with.
I just have to find the right place.
Could go on the edge of one of these little river side urban gardens.
But last time I tried that, some of them got mowed by a weed trimmer.....
Still searching for the perfect place.
I've found that most people who are not cops, forestry people, or growers will walk past a plant in natural ground because people only think they know what weed looks like. If its in a pot though, the jig is up if it gets spotted. Hell, even a lot of city cops will walk past a pot plant if they are just out and about.
Then you'll laugh at some of my earlier grows here, haha!
Last year, garden workers moved my 2 gal pots out of the way to cut down the weeds, and then put them back...
I do get what you mean about seeing a pot vs seeing a plant in the ground (or NOT seeing a plant in the ground).
I've started adding water crystals to my outdoor grows, but of course I live in one of the hottest places in the US.
Could do if I keep in pots.
But in the ground here, no need I think, it's not a dry place.
I'm guessing you're in Arizona, or New Mexico or Texas or something.
Totally different from here, my friend, totally different.
You have the advantage of low humidity during flowering though -- I'm jealous!
I'm curious, do you recall which strain of Top Tao it is that you have? I've got 10 Tao Super Auto's and 10 Tao Auto Blueberrys sitting in a drawer waiting for March.
It was supposedly Early Top Tao.
It's supposedly photo, but they flowered on the 3rd or 4th nodes at 18/6, and were really tiny.
I wonder if they are like a Sweet Seeds "fast version" -- photo x auto, but pheno-typed as auto?
Or, if the people who packed them just fncked up and put the wrong seeds in.
They were freebie freebies - not just the regular freebies, but then thrown in on top of that.

I still have maybe 10-20 of those seeds, though they look very weak...
Daddy was purple, if that's any consolation or reason to plant them.
I really should.
Keep growing girl, your grows are awesome!
Thanks, hombre, you sound like an ganja farmer, amigo.
Love and hugs,
